He played all of last season with the Hurricanes for PSP, played the year before that with Aftermath until they pulled out of the league, and played with Doc’s Raiders for what two seasons before that? Apart from the Vicious deal falling apart he’s been on one team in a league for a whole season for years. Nicky Cuba has switched that many teams in the same amount of time and so has Jon Richardson, Jason Edwards etc.

very true. I think It’s hard to be a East Coast pro. Teams come an go and its not like west coast paintball, flying into other teams and getting used to their ways isnt as easy as everyone thinks. For Billy to love paintball so much that he does what he has to do and fly’s where he has to fly just to play pro paintball is what being a pro is all about.

Kenny Tsuda can’t hang with the big-boys!! He’s a leftover from a couple yrs back when Bob experimented with taking a bunch of D2 players into the pro ranks. He’s only on BLAST because his dad has a part in the team. He was their snake player but when Prince moved in he got relegated to playing a different position just so he could still be there.

Sorry, but you don’t know what your talkin about, Kenny is a better all-around player than Prince. I love Prince, but Kenny creates more kills and is a better all-around player. Kenny has proven his pro level abilities long ago and has been consistent throughout his tenure, the Ironmen interest proves it.
Ken Sr. is the best team manager in the game, he has given a crazy amount of time, blood, sweat, cash and effort to support the team his son just happens to be on.
They should be a model for you/”update” and your son, Rush has along way to go to just to accomplish what Ken, Kenny has done with SCP Epic, let alone BLAST.

I’m bummed to hear that Kenny won’t be playing for Bob. Ken and Kenny are two 1st class individuals in this industry. I hope that they continue to set a great example and I hope that Kenny lands himself on another top pro team soon.

people need not to make a big deal about bear. big so what’ if he got in.kid is a player. americans are used to presidents jacking elections and cheating the people. who the fuck cares about a socal kid making sure hes in it to win it.
